I'm still mad about the start of the game. About the ridiculous notion of the Reapers surprise attacking Earth. The council not just being skeptical but refusing to even consider the possibility of Reapers being real after ME1 was already stupid. After the Arrival DLC, the Council, much less Earth, not preparing, is just cartoonish writing.I'm still mad about being given a teammate from Jersey Shore who is suddenly my best buddy somehow.I'm still mad about the bimbofication of Ashley. I'm still mad about Kaidan being turned into a faggot.I'm still mad about the emotions the game tries to force on the player. How it tries to tell me at every turn how should I feel about the shallow, forced drama.I'm still mad about the shitty dream sequences.I'm still mad about the logic-defying doctrine of the Reapers. Not going for the Citadel first. Behaving like War of the Worlds Tripods. I'm still mad about the idiocy of sending their irreplacable "each ship a nation" vessels to die in a war of attrition.I'm still mad at the games attempt to turn the Krogans from space niggers into a respectable species. In general, to strip each species of their unique behavioural traits and turn them all into humans at heart, because racism is bad or something.I'm still mad at the dozens of shitty fetch quests and the atrocious Reaper chase minigame.I'm still mad at the Starchild.I'm still mad at the destroy ending ripping off Stargate SG-1's ending of the Replicator arc. And doing it poorly, forcing a sacrifice into it (of benevolent AI) that can't be and won't be explained in the game. It's just space magic.I'm still mad at the Synthesis ending, which is even more outlandish space magic. This was supposed to be a sci-fi game not a fantasy.I'm still mad at the game for being absolute, rancid shit from start to finish, and retroactively ruining the entire series by its incredible shitness.
The main problem with the game's writing is the muh army to retake Earth stuffThere's no justification for doing this at all. No conventional fleet is capable of retaking Earth from the Reapers. Shepard's only realistic course of action in ME3 is to find out what the Catalyst is, find the Catalyst, and then use it to activate the Crucible once it's ready. Perhaps recruiting allies to help build the Crucible along the way.If the Reapers didn't conveniently and suddenly decide to kidnap the Citadel and take it to directly above Earth at the end of the game, Shepard would have been FUCKED.
